Today I am posting June Class Schedule. Prior to Hari Raya at the end of June, I am holding a couple of Raya Special classes! For special macaron class, I will be teaching four of my favourite flavours. Please take this opportunity to learn caramel factory’s signature macarons^^.

Our 2016 Christmas Lesson #1. is Choux de Noel, a Japanese style cookie cream puff in wreath shape filled with earl grey tea creme patissiere (custard cream) and pistachio chantilly. We will decorate it with some strawberries and blueberries.

The key for this class is to make cream puff grow nicely, and you will be learning some tips to make it successful. Hope everyone’s choux becomes nice shape^^!

The crunchy cookie on top has a hint of cinnamon so that the combination of tea x cinnamon spice will remind you of hot chai and Christmas spice cookies and cakes.

Another recipe for this class is Tea snowball cookie. It’s an earl grey flavored cookies coated with icing sugar, and if you like you can also add some cinnamon spice to its decoration.

Let’s enjoy the last month of year 2016 with some nice cookies and cakes!

Here is the schedule for this class;

DATE: December 3rd (Sat.) 11:00am-2:30pm – FULL

December 18th (Sun.) 11:00am-2:30pm

FEE: RM200 (RM159 for members)

Today I would like to post December 2016 class schedule. Thanks for waiting!

Christmas season is coming and I am excited to introduce some Christmas style cakes and cookies to you! “Pistachio x Red berries” is my theme for this year’s Christmas. We will make this combination into Choux wreath and Entremet layer cake. I will also be repeating some popular classes from the past such as Strawberry Short Cake and Raspberry Cheesecake. Of course, gingerbread cookie too. I myself cannot go through Christmas without baking those items!

Choux pastries have always been popular items in the class! I have done many variations of Cream puffs and Eclairs, as well as Paris brest in the past. This time I will be introducing a Green Tea flavored Eclair for the first time ^^*.

The eclair crust has some maccha powder, and inside is green tea flavored creme patissiere (custard cream) and creme chantilly (whipped cream). I will be demonstration exactly like the photo and will pipe two types of creams in different layers, but for transport safety you can combine the cream and pipe out in light green color tone. Both are nice and tasty.

As for the Japanese Cookie Choux, we will be making a standard cream puff with crunchy and melty cookie on top. Inside will be vanilla flavored custard cream. Compared to the cream puffs I see in Malaysia, my cream puffs tastes more milky and creamy as it is a Japanese type!

Hari Raya holiday is coming soon! So what is your plan for this holiday? Visiting family, relatives, travelling… or baking ^^*?

As for me, I will have classes till this weekend and will close shop from next Monday to Wednesday! I don’t have any plan during my holiday but sure will have some relaxing time with my family between my classes.

By the way, this Sunday we have Eclair au Cafe & Eclair au Caramel class! I have done many choux pastry classes in the past, but this one is specially focused on eclair making. Eclair is very similar to cream puff making, but the difference is in its long shape and slightly harder texture. It’s slightly more difficult to make but if you follow the right steps you can make a beautiful and delicious eclairs!

We will make 2 kinds of eclairs in the class: Eclair au Cafe, eclairs with coffee cream and coating chocolate. And Eclair au Caramel, eclairs with salty bittersweet caramel and crispy hazelnuts on top. This crispy hazelnuts was a big hit among my family and friends who have tried them out!

You get to bring back Eclair au Cafe (7 pcs) and Eclair au Caramel (8 pcs), both in 12cm length.

Here are the class schedules;

DATE & TIME: July 27th (Sun.) 11:00am-2:30pm – FULL

Saint Honore is one of the traditional French choux pastries. Did you know that the cream puff that you are familiar with is actually created in Japan and they almost do not exist in France? Instead, the puff pastries you see in France are mainly this Saint Honore, Paris Brest, and Eclair.

I was quite fascinated by its beautiful shape and have always wanted to create a recipe. I tried out many flavors such as chocolate , rose, and caramel and liked caramel the best. So I’m going to teach it to you in the class!

This class is also good to learn and practice making cream puffs!
